Default Need component replacement advice - aftermarket stereo

Hey guys,
So I bought an ‘04 that came equipped with an aftermarket stereo which is awesome, but I promptly blew out the passenger side 6.5” speaker. My problem is that I know very little about in car stereo so I was hopeful by if I post some pictures of my setup you guys could recommend some replacement options?
Really appreciate your help

The top is a 250 amp, the bottom is 300. I’m guessing the 250 is for the sub?

Yes, the 250/1 puts out 250 watts into one channel (the subwoofer).
The 300/2 puts out 150 watts into each of two channels (the left and right door speakers).
Those are both good amplifiers and capable of driving pretty much any (6.5" component) door speakers you choose.
You'll probably have to take off the door panels to find out what speakers are already there, but given the amps and sub,
I'd assume decent quality aftermarket speakers. What are the symptoms of your blown speaker?

thanks oth! Good to know. Now I’m off to find a good set of speakers, but to be safe I’ll post them up here before pulling the trigger. Whatever’s in there now is very low and difficult to hear, as if too much mid and bass not enough treble.
So I heard the passenger side audibly “crack” one day, and it’s just been crackly and distorted since. Suppose I’ll have to pop the door card off to see for sure

JL makes quality amps and subwoofers. The Stealthbox (subwoofer box) you have costs $650+ brand new. Swapping the door speakers out should be pretty straightforward. There are youtube tutorials on how to get the door card off safely.
